DEAD PRESIDENTS MAKE BORING COINS. Ideas on what should be pictured instead??

I always liked the series in Canada of natural wildlife...but just for a limited time. Indians (native Americans) are still COOL!!

Or how about the Warner Brothers Looney-tunes??? WOO WOO WOOO!!!

Liberty would be nice.

Frank Gasparo's Flowing Liberty dollar would have been 1000x times better than the SBA and the SAC, and I think would have helped it circulate better. These PC designs are getting on my nerves. I love the new Platinum Eagle reverses with the Seated Liberty. Totally Awesome. I think the Platinum Eagles have led the way with liberty obverses and nature reverse. very nice!

Yeah, but not the "dikey" Barber or the Google-nosed 19th century ones!! (no offense....just poking humor) I know the Barber comment is a lightening rod, but I still say that it's an awfully "butch" looking woman. I thought it was a guy until about 5 years ago!! IT'S PAT!!

Morgan or the varieties of Morgan are classic...how about a beach-vollyball Liberty? Or a Jenna Jameson Liberty? Or a Halle Berry Liberty?

I think modern interpretations of Liberty or Columbia would be quite good choices. They don't have to be classical styles designs but certainly attractive.

This years Platinum would be a good start for a new dollar coin.

Darkhorse

Depictions of classic American art could be good.

No takers on the Looney-Tunes idea??

How about great fighter jets and tanks and missle systems?? Then the crazy assjack Arabs wouldn't want our money and have trouble with funding?

Actually, I like the idea of nature. I would love to see a series like they did for the national wildlife medals or the platinum eagles done for circulating coinage.

Cougars, Moosies, eagles, timberwolves, foxes, armadillos?, a NY City Commem. Rat, but no farm amimals...although a holstein would make for interesting contrast??

If Franklin had his way, we'd have a turkey on the reverse of every coin.

saintguru

How about a cooked turkey with the heat waves coming from it?

nwcs

No, that would make a better commemorative.

Cam40

how bout just stamp the denomination on both sides
the number on one side and spelled out on the other.

nwcs

Didn't the Netherlands do that?

JEEZ...Might as wel mint BLANKS. At least they would be easy to grade!!

<< <i>JEEZ...Might as wel mint BLANKS. At least they would be easy to grade!! >>

Nah, there will be a grading system based on how smooth the blanks are and a new era of arguments will begin on whether the imperfection is actually caused by the punching machine or was a defect in the alloy.

How about some of the pics posted lately on the Open Forum?

I guess the Peace $ is the last attractive circulating coin that was designed with liberty.

Isn't the SAC supposed to be an interpretation of liberty through Sacagewea?
